"Since f8, people have shared their listening activity more than 1.5 billion times with their friends using the music apps that have integrated the Open Graph. As a result, some of our biggest music developers have more than doubled their active users, while earlier-stage startups and services starting with a smaller base have seen anywhere between a 2-10x increase in active users," reads the post from Facebook.

What about the streaming music services? They'll like it too, new users is exactly what they were hoping to get out of being an approved Facebook Music app. Artists continually split the line on streaming music and getting paid, with some saying the royalties are not big enough. Other artists see this as part of a larger strategy of creating awareness of your music, and maybe that's the rub here. Getting your music on streaming music sites is not about royalties, but rather a way to make your name known, so that you can encourage fans to come to your shows or buy other things from you like band merchandise or subscriptions to custom services from your band. Get creative! This is where you can do big things.
